Voltages inside a pinball machine

Lamp circuits run at about 6 V. Many coil circuits run around 30 V, some at 50 V or more. Solid-state games can have circuits up to about 100 V. The power cord, main fuse, transformer primary, on-off switch and the service outlet carry full line voltage.

The power cord, main fuse, on-off switch, transformer primary and service outlet carry 110-120 V line voltage, which can kill. Unplug the game first.
